“This My Last Show For a Very Long Time”: J. Cole Bows Out at Meadows Festival

J. Cole may have been a last minute addition to the Meadows Festival line-up — he filled in for The Weeknd, who dropped out, then returned, then dropped out for good on Friday (September 30) — but it turned out to be a performance to cherish for his fans. During his headlining set at the Queens festival on Saturday night, Jermaine announced that “this [is]my last show for a very long time.” He didn’t explain why he’s taking a break from performing, but one guy in the crowd seemed to know what it meant: J. Cole’s getting into album mode. Let’s hope so, anyway.
